At 2.30 p. m. the members left for Fitchville im- mediately. After going through the riant the members, 13 in number, ai joarned to the grounds of the Palmer mill and took part in a corn and hot dog roast. At about 9.30 the journey home- ward was begun. After the visitors had been greeted by Superintendent Bidwell they were first taken to several huge pieces of mechan- ism where the raw stock sucked by air was fed into the machine and came in layers which, by putting one on top of another, formed a large roll of the cotton. The stock 1is taken through large pipes and the air current, which guides it through the pipe, is made by propeliors. In this operation the cot- ton, which also contains a slight per- centage of linen, is made into small par- ticles so that when it comes out of the machine it is very light. The next operation seen was that of cuiting the cotton in rells within the covering and the placing of the cut lengths into forms prior to the first sewing process. This was done by hand. When the mattrésses were thus far in form with the proper length of cotton layer between the covering o much was placed in edging machines and the edges were roughly sewed up. Some of the best operators of this ap- paratus were able to sew as many as 150 mattresses per day. The edging depart- ment, which was ‘the next objective, was entirely operated by girls. Hers ths edges were finished off. One of the most interesting of all processes seen In operation was that of the figured designs being sewed in the mattresses.

These contest girls, who have been rehsarsing this exercise for some were operated by girls and the mechan- ism which was required in this opera- tion was watched with absorption. It is unique, though simple, and everything seems to be a mass of cogs where a traveling gear, regulated by these cog: guides the stitching apparatus and thus the center design is sewed. Thén came the straight seaming pro- cess where hand work was required on actount of the necessity for accuracy. The straight seams in the mattress are all dome in this department. Another quarter of the mill showed the method by which the cloth for the covering in three breadths is sewed together in one operation. This cloth, it was explained by the superintendent, was nearly all printea in itz many beautiful designs by the Palmer Bros. establishments The testing department was also an interesting place. Here men cut the rolls of cotton as they come from the very first process into layers and test them for their préoper weight. This 18 done hourly in order that the mattresses may be of uniform weight. The thousands of boxes were made by the Robert Gair Co. and were especially built for use in packing the mattresses. They were made to contain each one mattress. Even the shipping labels were cn each box with each one containing the mattress just as when they leave the Roebuck plant ready for mailing. The baling room was not in operation but it was an interesting process and fully explained by Superintendent Bid- well. Some of thé finished products are shipped in bales. There are 12 in a hale and the baling machine is capable of preparing four bales in five minutes. The mill as séen from the outsid looks considerably different from the ones built today. One corner of the mill is provided with a tower such as was customary for an anclent castle but which is entirely lacking in present day mills. It is built entirely of stone and well finished off. The mill was built years ago by a man named Fitch. He had lived in that place which was named after him. After years of ab- sence, before which time he had been a poor man, he came back with two mil- lion dollars and started the mill. He was a man who liked the running of water and the entire estate where the mill stands is still to a great exten: decorated with fountains and grottes trom which water formerly flowed, fed by a reservoir on top the hill. The source of all power was the finai objective of the club members.
